Since there are currently no shipping products which use the FLEx technology, its effectiveness and power consumption are unknown. Personally, I would much prefer an integrated lighting solution, but external lamps could still be used if one didn't want to drain the e-reader's internal battery.
In any event, given the fact that Amazon is apparently testing similar technology (see
